John - thanks so much for the dos extension info - since the helpdesk
guy thought I couldn't do it. ha!
IT appears that I can't run 5.0 adobe elements on the new puter but I
was given 10.0 so we will see how I can adjust to that.
meanwhile, in the , grrrrr dept, I probably have to just stay off it
until Tuesday... although I'm considering unplugging the ethernet cable
THe helpdesk had said they should have been finished the tuneup last
night and I should be able to use it.
.... 10 minutes later...
ok I pulled the ethernet cable and restarted the machine - can't see any
harm here except confusing those techies

The help desk actually helped.
It started with a nightmarish encounter with malware - but that got
solved... and I got Defender Pro for cheap because I'm old and nice :-)
THere are adjustments to be made, but the puter simply purrs - I was on
the verge of returning it but the techie was so enthused about the
hardware he said it was great and it should last me ten years. it
is 64 bit , btw -- someone asked... and the win 7 I have is win 7 pro.
NOW - Thunderbird...
Can someone explain to me in easy language how to transfer all of my
email and thunderbird settings to the new computer? Is this possible?
I'm not sure there is an *easy* way to do it, but this might help:

And for a really stupid question... I wanted to load Adobe 5.0 and
Ive got the disk but when I open it on the new computer I don't see how
to ,um, make it go...
Open "My Computer" and right click on the icon for the Adobe 5.0 disk.
One of the options in the context menu should be to "Open AutoPlay". One
of the options under AutoPlay should to install the program.
also, I want to see dos extensions on all my files and I don't remember
where I go to do that.
While you've got "My Computer" open, click on "Libraries" (in the
left-hand pane).
When you have libraries open click on "Tools" then select "Folder
options..."
In "Folder Options" select the "View" tab.
Under "Advanced Settings" look for a check-box with the line "Hide
extensions for known file types". UN-check it. Click [Apply].
That should give you the DOS extensions.
Near the top there's a box for "Folder views" containing a button [Apply
to Folders]. Click it, and the new settings should be applied across the
computer.
My neighbor and friend who would be helpful with some of this stuff
is awol - and probably wont' be around much in the next few weeks.
I am looking at pesos and admiring, sorry for skipping comments for a
bit..
